Chapter 205: Rumors.
last update2025-05-09 18:54:21

Silence returned to the battlefield once more—but this silence was heavier than before.

It clung to the burnt earth like a shroud.

The kind of silence that follows something unforgettable. That demands reverence. That hushes even the wind.

Oasis lay sprawled in a bed of ash, his body motionless, his breathing faint.

His bare chest, smeared with soot and blood, rose and fell with visible effort.

His fingers twitched unconsciously, the last remnants of energy slowly seeping from his form.

Elder Olivia landed beside him, her cloak whipping around her ankles.

Without a word, she knelt, brushing aside debris as she reached for him.

Gently, she draped her cloak over his body, shielding him from the night wind now heavy with mana and blood.

“You did well, young one,” she murmured, brushing ash from his cheek.

“But you have to work on that temper,” she added with a wry smile, lifting him effortlessly into her arms.

Her brow furrowed the moment their skin touched.

“So hot…” she muttered, sensi

    The northern skirmish, a clash of steel and flame between a band of traveling cultivators and a group of roadside bandits, came to an abrupt, uneasy halt—every single head turned south.A pulse of mana had swept through the forest. Heavy. Radiant. Terrifying.It wasn’t just power; it was presence.The kind that made your instincts scream.“Without a doubt,” muttered one of the cultivators—a tall, lean man in fine silver robes with glowing runes etched into his cuffs.He was clearly not a bandit.“That’s coming from the Solarclaw Tiger we glimpsed days ago.”He looked to the south, eyes narrowed.“Someone's trying to swallow more than they can chew.”A few paces away, amidst the bandits' side of the field, a man in dull red armor whispered harshly to the one with a black staff slung across his back:“Boss… we need to leave. If that thing heads this way… we're dead men.”The “boss”—a broad-shouldered man with a jagged scar over his brow and a confidence he hadn’t earned—let out a breat

    The next few breaths were heavy with tension.The Solarclaw Tiger stood hunched over the corpse of the Sunspike Boar, its jaws slick with blood.Its powerful claws dug into the boar’s chest, tearing muscle and bone with ease. With a guttural snarl, it pried open the ribcage—and there it was.The core of the Sunspike Boar, pulsing and glimmering like a living flame, shimmered a brilliant crimson-orange, hovering amidst the remains like a jewel born of blood and fire.It cast flickering glows across the tiger’s molten-striped face, its amber eyes reflecting greed and instinctual hunger.Without hesitation, the Solarclaw Tiger lunged its head forward and swallowed the core whole. Its throat bulged for a second as the radiant orb vanished inside.BOOM!A violent pulse of golden-orange light surged from its body. The shimmering aura that had already cloaked the tiger suddenly intensified—flaring like a wildfire.Waves of mana rippled outward in rings, like shockwaves in molten air. The tre

  • Chapter 303: Anticipation.

    Grrrrrr…A guttural, bone-shaking growl rippled through the fiery underbrush of Ignis Vale.The Solarclaw Tiger, stalked silently around the translucent barrier the Sunspike Boar had conjured.Its glowing amber eyes were locked onto the boar, pupils thin slits of razor-like focus, never once blinking, never once wavering.Its paws made no sound—only faint wisps of steam rose where its claws kissed the scorched earth.Each step was calculated, its powerful limbs coiled like steel springs, fur flaring faintly with radiant energy.The tiger didn’t roar again. It didn’t need to. The atmosphere alone—dense, smothered in tension—spoke of impending violence.The boar, by contrast, was stiff, its head low and tusks raised high. Bristles now crackled with stored solar mana, standing tall like spears ready to launch.Inside the circular urine-formed barrier, the boar huffed, stamping its hooves as it snorted clouds of reddish mana vapor.“The tiger is over there,” Oasis said calmly, lifting his

    “Young master, why are you smiling?” Venak asked, peering at Oasis curiously.His lips had been curled in a soft, lingering smile ever since they passed the group of old man Jio.Oasis, still seated with ease atop his Equinore, eyes half-lidded in reminiscence, replied, “That old man… he treated us like a father would treat his son, watching him leave for war.""He spoke with the love of a parent—his words weren’t cautionary for the sake of fear, but of genuine care.” His voice was soft, reverent, like someone recalling a dream they didn’t want to wake from.“It’s fascinating that in this world of strength, chaos, and survival… people like that still exist.”He paused, the wind brushing against the loose strands of his dark messy hair. “And I’m certain… he knew who we were.”Du Shiye raised a brow. “Mmh, you say? So if he knew—and has heard the rumors about you, young master—doesn’t it mean he shouldn’t have needed to warn us about an A-rank mystic beast?""With your strength, you cou

  • Chapter 301: Fatherly instinct.

    Murmurs. Murmurs. Murmurs.The cries echoed through the dense canopy of Verdant Forest, tangled amidst the scent of blood, scorched bark, and the sour tang of ruptured beast bile.A narrow dirt pathway wound through thick emerald underbrush, where vines curled like serpents and roots sprawled beneath dense foliage.Here, a group of weary but battle-hardened adventurers clashed violently against two massive, C-rank Vine Serpents.The creatures writhed—thick-scaled, sinuous beasts with shimmering green hide glistening in the afternoon light.Thorny vine-like appendages sprouted along their backs, slashing wildly and lashing at anything within reach.Their eyes gleamed with feral intelligence, and from their forked tongues dripped corrosive venom that sizzled against stone.A blade clanged against scale.Sparks danced in the air.Flames burst as a fire mage let loose a Blazing Palm, only to be slammed back by the force of a coiling tail.Spells collided midair, wind and fire arcing acros

  • Chapter 300: Can a tiger feel pressure from a kitten?

    “I can’t believe we’re finally leaving this place. It was nice and all... the food, especially,” Eirene said cheerfully, brushing a lock of violet hair behind her ear as she stood near the inland gate of Bitterhoney Port.Zane stood beside her, arms folded, his sharp gaze drifting across the crowd with mild interest, while Lancelot stood quietly to his side—his expression as composed as ever, offering only a subtle smile in agreement.Not far from them, Zion waited as well.He stood still and aloof, dressed in robes with silver-blue hems, his cold eyes resting on nothing in particular.To his right stood Ragar, broad-shouldered and armored in lightweight scale-plate that shimmered like condensed smoke.And on Zion’s left was Melven, the quiet lean member of Blood Letum—the same man who had been present when Oasis met Iris for the first time.All of them now stood gathered, waiting at the gates for the last of the brothers—Zenon—and his retainers to arrive.“We can finally go home now,
